Sheriff's detectives investigate fatal shooting in Victorville

VICTORVILLE -- Sheriff's homicide detectives have identified the 52-year-old male involved in a shooting death early Sunday in a residential neighborhood.

San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies received several 9-1-1 calls about shots fired in the area of Roan Road and Roan Circle at 1:47 a.m.

Initial reports indicated a body was lying in the roadway with at least one gunshot wound, but that was not immediately confirmed by sheriff's officials, who said an active investigation was still taking place.

The victim, Ricky Lacour, 29, was taken to a hospital where he later died, sheriff's deputies said.

Michael Ray Sullivan Sr. of Victorville is suspected of shooting Lacour. A motive for the slaying wasn't released.

Deputies soon called out homicide detectives to the location.

Investigators were in the Brentwood neighborhood speaking to residents and processing the scene since the time of the early morning calls, deputies said Sunday.

Yellow crime-scene tape was still blocking off the scene early Sunday afternoon as crime scene investigators collected evidence.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the sheriff's Homicide Detail at 909-387-3589.
